Tom,

I have this same problem in my bottles. Not just the black 
location. I  calculated that it was the heat and moved the printer 
to a more cooler location. It is not the heat. Now there is a great 
amount of clear liquid throughout the sides and the cover and it 
drips down to the solution when it really loads up from above. 
This is annoying me. I am frustrated because my printings are 
changing in density. I do not want to shake the bottles as my 
friend warned me against this. I do not want to mess with the 
curves. This was not a problem with the quadblacks of Lyson 
that I used before changing to MIS VM inks. I cannot live with the 
rotation of the density. My work is meditative, depends much on
exact values and requires a consistency in the state of a 
photograph from printing to printing. I am frustrated. Any help 
is appreciated.
